Smirking at Eric, I closed my eyes like he asked and gripped onto the back of his neck tightly. I felt the wind go past us and within seconds we were in the house and the aroma of my room came into the atmosphere. My death grip I had on his neck loosened up as I felt him sit me down. Using his index and middle finger, he pushed me down by my chest so that I was laying down. He laid down next to me, his arm around my waste. "Alright my darling, open your eyes." As I fluttered them open I noticed the end to a king sized wicker bed frame. I looked around me, the sheets were a dark tan color and were made of soft material. I ran my fingers up and down the linen as I looked around. I had never had anything this nice. "What do you think?"

"It's….It's incredible. This is so nice, you didn't have to do this Eric I was all right with my bed before." I sat up more, getting a good look around the bed. The pillows were huge and fluffy, taking up most of the top part of it. At the end of the bed there were storage spaces and a remote sitting on the frame. "What does this do?" Eric grinned and grabbed the remote. Pushing a button on it, the end of the frame started to rise, revealing a television inside of the frame. I place my hand on my mouth as I gasped. , trying to cover up how surprised I was. "Oh Eric,"

"Do you like it? I know the television is a bit much but I thought you would like to watch your movies on a larger screen. Those drawers have some movies I picked out that I saw you didn't have." I smiled widely as I hopped off the bed to take a look. I place a finger on each movie reading each title carefully until I came across a movie that I hadn't been able to find anywhere. I screamed with excitement.

"You got me Two For the Road? Where did you find this? I have been looking everywhere!" I sat back down on the bed, and read the back of the DVD box with anticipation. I couldn't wait to watch it and I couldn't believe he had found it.

"I have a few connections. Audrey Hepburn movies are hard to find on DVD besides Breakfast at Tiffany's." I took my eyes away from the cover and looked at him.

"This is all so much. You really didn't have to do all-" He pressed his cold index finger to my lips gently.

"This is just a small gift. Please accept it If not think of it as a gift for me when I come over so I do not dangle off your bed." He took his finger away and brushed my cheek lightly, tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Thank you…Thank you very much." I leaned into his hand that was now stroking my cheek.

"Would you like to watch Two for the Road now? We have about four hours until dawn." I nodded my head.

"Let me take a shower, I smell like grease and french fries." He smiled at me leaning to kiss my forehead that sent comforting waves down my body.

"I'll wait outside my darling." As he left my room, Sookie entered. She was all smiles as she sat on my new bed.

"This is nice huh?" She said bouncing on the mattress.

"Did you know about this?" She turned red I slapped her gently. "and you didn't tell me? This is so nice and….expensive. Really expensive.'

"Trust me Rozlyn This probably isn't nothing for him. Realize that Eric is a very old and wealthy Vampire. He has had years to accumulate wealth. Eric came to me and asked me if he could do this for you. He's gotten weird since he me you." I got off the bed and searched for my towels.

"What do you mean?" I looked back at her to see her face puzzled.

"He's being so…sweet. It is defiantly not a side of Eric you see everyday. Maybe you are changing him." She shrugged her shoulders and got off the bed, walking towards me. "Eric wants me to scope out Fangtasia tomorrow, Bill and I are leaving at seven If you want to join us." I pulled out a lavender towel out of my dresser drawer and faced her.

"I have work till seven so I'll change and meet you guys there." She nodded her hear and pulled me in for a hug.

"Just because your taller than me doesn't mean your not my baby sister anymore." she laughed at herself. "Be careful with Eric okay? I don't want to see you hurt. Neither does Bill." She hugged me tighter. "I love you Rosey." I embraced her back, taking in her scent.

"I love you too Sook."

As I walked out of my bathroom in my long plaid shirt and leggings, I saw Eric already on the bed, laying down, his head propped up by his hand. I put my dirty towel in the hamper, put my glasses on and grabbed my hair brush, detangling my hair. Eric sat up on the bed.

"May I brush your hair?" I felt him behind me, his hand connecting with mine, holding the brush. I turned to face him, nodding my head. I left go of the brush and held his hand as he lead me to the bed. He grabbed a fresh towel and sat down on the bed. As he brush my hair he would towel dry my hair. I felt myself at times falling asleep he presents was so soothing. "I didn't know you wore glasses." He whispered into my ear. I grabbed the remote to turn the television on.

"Yeah I don't wear them all the time. I try not to look as nerdy as I really am." I said with a laugh. He ran the towel through my hair a couple more times before tossing it in the hamper.

"I don't think your like that my darling." I turn to face him, his face looking angelic.

"Are you kidding me? I-I watch old movies and for fun I read Gone With the Wind. I'm old." I pushed my glasses up more so I could focus on his face. He pulled me to him, as he grabbed the remote and laid us down.

"Well if you compared yourself to me you are not old. You just have an old soul. Now hush and watch this movie with me." I looked up at him smiling down on me. I placed my hand on his chest and watched as Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney appeared on screen.

I smoothed out my dress as I existed the car and made my way into Fangtasia. As I made my way towards the door I saw Pam wave me up to the front. I smiled and watched as people cursed and moaned. Pam was all smiles and teeth as I made my way up the line. "Well don't you look divine." She licked her lips as she stared at me. My hair was in its natural state, wavy and unruly. I had on a champagne colored sheath dress that ended a little past my behind. My black pumps completed my outfit perfect. I could feel my cheeks getting hot and flushed from the attention I was getting.

"Thank you Pam, nice to see you. "

"Eric is in his back office." I nodded my head and made my way inside. Not even five minutes into the bar I had someone rub on my shoulder. I turned around to face a Vampire. He was handsome, long dark hair and emerald green eyes. My eyes were wide and startled.

"Well aren't you just good enough to eat," His hand was still on my shoulder, his other hand playing with my hair. I smiled at him politely.

"Um…Thanks but I'm already tak-"

"How about we get out of here?" He held onto my shoulder more tighter. I tried to free myself from his grasp by rolling my shoulder back but his grip was too strong. "I know you would have a good time with me. I'm old and very experienced." He licked his lips as he spoke to me. He was about to say something else when Eric rushed to me at vampire speed, grabbing him by his neck, showing off his fangs.

"Is he bothering you?" His voice was full of authority as eyes were fixated on him, boring into his skin. I smiled and watched in amazement.

"Uh, no he was just about to leave." Eric put him down gently, putting an arm around my waist. As soon as his feet graced the ground the man took off in a sprint towards the back door.

"You are way too kind my darling. You look stunning." He said guiding me towards the back of the bar. I looked around the area. Women were stink eyeing me. The supernaturals looked at me like they were going to devour me. I didn't know which one was worse. As we walked into the office I saw that Bill and Sookie were already sitting down. I grabbed a seat next to Bill on the couch, crossing my legs. "Rozlyn I have asked Bill and Sookie to accompany me to Dallas. The sheriff of Area 9 has gone missing and we could use Sookie's ability at the Fellowship of the Sun. The vampires in Dallas believe they are the ones who have the sheriff and are going to have meet true death." Eric leaned on his desk, his hands closed together. "Would you like to go along with us?" Sookie stood up instantly.

"Like hell she will go with us." Eric stood up as well, towering over her small frame. "Its too dangerous."

"I think Rozlyn can make her own decisions." Sookie looked back to Bill and I and then back to Eric, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Bill?" She worriedly asked him.

"I wouldn't like Rozlyn to go, but it is her decision. It would be easier to protect her if she came along." I smiled at Bill and grabbed his hand gently. Slowly but surely he was coming around.

"Rosey do you want to come?" She asked not looking at me, he eyes still focused on Eric.

"Yes."

"Fine, then double the money, and she is not going to the Fellowship of the Sun." I started to protest but Sookie wouldn't have any of it. "Rose your ability isn't as strong, I can't be worried about you having an attack from listening to people's thoughts and trying to listen into what they are thinking." As soon as the words left her mouth I started to hear Lafayette's voice surround my thoughts, they were clear and I didn't have the blinding, pounding pain of a headache when he spoke. " Damn if there is a god please get me out of this hellhole Eric's got me in. I swear I will never touch V ever again…" My thoughts went silent as my eyes focused on Eric.

"What have you done with Lafayette?" I stood up getting toe-to-toe with him. He raised a brow at me, his hands went to his waist.

"How did you find that out? Did you hear him?"

"Doesn't matter. You will take me to him immediately."

"He was selling V my darling you don't understand."

"Maybe I don't but shouldn't you leave that sort of things to the authorities, like the police?" Eric stood quietly in front of me. His face was blank showing no emotion.

"This is something that the police wouldn't know how to handle."

"Take me to Lafayette. Now." I didn't let him have the chance to explain his reasoning.

It turned out that Lafayette was chained up in the basement of Fangtasia. Although he wasn't in there long, his face looked worn and tired. Bill an Sookie decided to take him to the hospital to get him checked out and told me to go home to take a breather. I was livid at what Eric had done. I guess this was the side of Eric Sookie had been talking about. I should have listened to her instead of going into this blind-sided. All I could think about was if Lafayette was okay and how he was going to recover from this. As I pulled up to Gran's house, I quickly slammed the car into park and shut the door violently. I saw Eric's frame sitting on a rocking chair on the porch.

"Eric you need to leave." I said walking past him.

"Will you let me explain?" I turned back at him, my hair whipping behind my shoulder.

"Explain to me how you held a person captive because he made a mistake? What you did was inhumane."

"Well I hate to disappoint you love, I'm not human." I scolded him with my eyes as I opened the door. He was right behind me like a dog to his owner. I through my things on the couch, not caring where they landed. As I turned to look at Eric he was closer then ever to me, wrapping an arm around me tightly. His fangs had made themselves known and his nose was investigating the air. "Someone is here." I rolled my eyes at him and tried to shove him off me. His arms were around my body tighter now, his eyes searching the area.

"Oh please Eric, your not fooling me, leave." I again tried to push him off me, I was not in the mood with him tonight. "Eric I resend my invitation! Get out of my house!" The look on his face was anger and hurt. As his body was moving towards the door I followed him to the frame.

"Rozlyn invite me back in! You are in grave danger please trust me!" He gritted his teeth at me. I looked at him one more time and rolled my eyes.

"I'm sorry Eric Northman, but I can't trust you anymore. You lost it when you chained up my best friend. Goodnight." I slammed the door in his face, leaning against the door. I needed a bath. I took my heels off as I made my way towards to my room. I threw them on the floor and turned my bathroom light on.

"Hello my sweet." Logan was sitting on my stool I had in the bathroom for when I put my makeup on. I froze in fear as he came closer to me. I tried to back away but my legs wouldn't move. Silent tears rolled down my face as Logan used his index finger to wipe them away. "Don't cry my princess. I'm here to rescue you."

Eric was right.
